| cmaloney | Good morning | 12:26 |
|---|---|---|
| _stink_ | yo | 12:43 |
| rick_h_ | party | 13:08 |
| cmaloney | Speaking of parties: release party on Friday night at Penguicon | 13:11 |
| cmaloney | 7-9pm | 13:11 |
| rick_h_ | double party | 13:11 |
| greg-g | yawn | 14:10 |
| jrwren | its penguicon?!?! | 14:14 |
| jrwren | omg, I totally missed it. | 14:14 |
| waldo323 | not yet it is still in the future and you can still be there | 14:42 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: It's still on the radar | 14:43 |
| jrwren | I'm feeling very dumb right now, because its taken me until now to realize this: Office Online chrome plugin can access local files. | 15:14 |
| jrwren | I've wanted to replace my mom's crap windows laptop with desktop linux for a while now (she continuously gets viruses and randsomware) but she has an attachment to MS Office. This bridges that gap. | 15:15 |
| cmaloney | That's cool | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | My parents have Windows in a VM | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | Not sure if that would be an option but it might also bridge the gap | 15:17 |
| cmaloney | or Crossover Office | 15:17 |
| cmaloney | (Word / Excel work OK in there. Powerpoint is iffy) | 15:17 |
| jrwren | Crossover is a great idea. I was leaning toward that too because I want to support them. | 15:18 |
| jrwren | i don't think she uses PPT, only word and excel | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I love Crossover | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | I wish I could ditch my Windows VM altogether but H&R Block doesn't work under Crossover | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | at least not since I last checked | 15:19 |
| cmaloney | I think the one thing that didn't work was the MS browser engine that they were using to display stuff (Cairo/Webkit alike) | 15:20 |
| jrwren | with IE/edge not being a separate download at all anywhere anymore, they can't even do something where they suggest downloading it :( | 15:32 |
| jrwren | I guess they never could. The EULA always said for use on windows OS only. | 15:32 |
